The Vikings (7-8) shut down rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and the Giants (2-13). New York finished with a meager 141 yards of offense, by far its lowest total of the season. Minnesota sacked Dart five times and intercepted him once, as the 22-year-old finished with just 33 yards on 7-of-13 passing.

Minnesota responded to New York's nine-minute drive with its own time-consuming drive. The Vikings ran 14 plays for 57 yards, taking 6:51 off the clock. They settled for a 30-yard field goal from Reichard, taking a 16-13 lead with 4:15 to play in the fourth quarter.

The Giants started the second quarter with the football, and they continued to move the ball down the field on the ground, as Jaxson Dart threw just one pass in their first two possession. They eventually got rookie kicker Ben Sauls into position for his first NFL field goal attempt, and he connected on the 27-yard try to tie things at 3-3.

Their team plane experienced mechanical issues that required turning around shortly after departing Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, according to a team spokesperson. The Vikings were expected to arrive in Newark later Saturday night after boarding a second plane, the spokesperson said.

The Minnesota Vikings will be delayed getting to New Jersey for Sunday's game against the New York Giants after the team's plane was forced to turn back. The Vikings confirmed in a statement Saturday that the team plane "experienced mechanical issues" shortly after departing that forced it to return to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
